Suppliers

The supplier file contains details about your suppliers in much the same way as the Customer file records details about your customers. This file contains the suppliers address and contact details along with the categories and default settings for the supplier. Like customers, suppliers have trading terms, discounts and credit limits. The difference here is that these represent your credit situation with the supplier.

The default product section on the supplier screen allows you to select an item that will be automatically placed onto a supplier invoice for this supplier each time you begin a new document. This simplifies the task of entering regular invoices from suppliers for a fixed purpose (eg. monthly fees for services, etc.).

A supplier record also has a default general ledger code. This is used to help in coding the supplier invoices for the general ledger. This ledger code may be overlayed by the product group and branch to build a complete ledger code for each item on a document.
